Aim of ROTA's Volunteer Program

The Volunteer Program of Reach Out To Asia strives to create a movement of volunteers and responsible global citizens within Qatar, that actively carry out initiatives to improve the general well being of their local communities and make a positive impact on the lives of the less fortunate across Asia.
